The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Xiao Lou saw the prompt from "Contestant No. 1", and before he had time to think carefully, his body was suddenly sucked into the world of Club 2.

To his relief, the world of Plum Blossom 2 is not barren mountains, nor are there any scary zombies and beasts.

This is a square closed room with an area of ​​about ten square meters. There is a door directly in front of it, and mirrors occupying an entire wall on the left and right sides.There is a desk in the middle of the room, behind the desk sits a young man who looks sixteen or seventeen years old on the boss chair.

He was wearing a black tuxedo with a neat white shirt and a bow tie, making him very formal.He has fair skin and delicate facial features, but unfortunately there is no expression on his face. Sitting there, he looks like a delicate and beautiful sculpture.

The young man looked up at Xiao Lou, and said calmly, "Hi, I'm the gatekeeper Plum Blossom A, welcome to the Plum Blossom Secret Room."

Xiao Lou was taken aback, thinking of the scene where Liu Xiaoyuan from Zombie Town deliberately said "I am the Ace of Spades" to trick him into opening the door, he immediately tightened his back vigilantly, put his whole body on alert, and asked calmly, "The gatekeeper? No?" Should it appear after customs clearance?"

The boy said: "The Chamber of Plum Blossoms is different. A fair referee is needed to challenge the game, so I will show up early."

The boy sitting on the sofa had a paralyzed face, and he didn't seem inclined to attack Xiao Lou. Xiao Lou heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Are you serving as the referee yourself?"

The boy nodded and said, "Before the game starts, I will give you some basic props."

As soon as the words fell, some props appeared out of thin air on the table in front of Xiao Lou.

A very formal black suit, a silver metal mask, a strange bracelet, and ten gold coins.

gold? !

Xiao Lou's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the gold coin and examined it carefully.

A round gold coin with a diameter of about 5 centimeters, with patterns of hearts, spades, squares and clubs drawn on the front, top, bottom, left and right respectively, and "1000" written on the back, which should be the face value of the gold coin .

The gold coins in the card world are much larger than real coins, and the face value is exaggerated enough - start directly at 1000.

Plum Blossom A said: "I hate colorfully dressed challengers. Please change into this set of clothes when you enter the Plum Blossom Secret Room."

Hate colorful clothes, so let everyone wear black suits?

Are you sure this isn't going to a funeral?

Before Xiao Lou had time to complain, the clothes on his body changed suddenly - he miraculously put on this black suit directly, and also put on a silver mask on his face, and the bracelet was automatically put on his wrist. His clothes disappeared without a trace.

The setting of instant change of clothes made him slightly startled, but many things in the card world cannot be explained scientifically, so he quickly accepted this set of "equipment for entering the Plum Blossom Chamber". In the mirror, he was wearing a black suit and a mask. Covering the face, only revealing a pair of eyes.

Xiao Lou looked away from the mirror, looked at the boy and asked, "What are these props for?"

The boy said: "The mask is for the protection of novices, lest your expression reveal too much information to the opponent. On the bracelet is a transfer bead, which can let you get good cards. You can only use transfer once per game. Beads. Ten gold coins are the principal I will give you."

Xiao Lou raised his eyebrows lightly: "Principal? Plum Blossom 2 Secret Room, shouldn't it be a gambling game?"

"Yes. Plum blossom secret rooms below B level are more friendly to newcomers. You can earn some gold coins through low-level plum blossom secret rooms to prepare for the future. In the card world, poor people without gold coins will not live long."

Xiao Lou: "..."

It turned out that Ace of Spades hadn't lied to him when he said "you'll know soon".

The rewards of the first three chambers are all cards, but the rewards of the chamber of plum blossoms have become gold coins.Gold coins can be used to buy props such as "contracts" from gatekeepers, and you may be able to buy the equipment you need later.

He got the Lucky Bead, and the other challengers must have got the same props, and it will be extremely critical when he wins a big bet with the Lucky Bead in the next game.

A mask that covers the whole face will be of great help to novices. Otherwise, when you meet someone who is good at poker, you can tell whether your cards are good just by looking at your expression—now that everyone wears a mask, you can only rely on guesswork.

Xiao Lou seldom plays poker games. "Fight the Landlord" is taught by his cousin's church, and he has never heard of "10:30".A contract book costs 2 gold coins, and his principal is exactly [-]. He doesn't want to make more money. As long as he keeps the [-] principal, he can use this gold coin to buy the contract after passing the Plum Blossom [-] Secret Room. Book to find Yu Hanjiang.

Xiao Lou was lowering his head to think, when Meihua A's cold voice suddenly came from his ear: "Go, the game is about to start."

The door directly in front slowly opened, Xiao Lou took a deep breath, and walked in slowly.

At the moment he entered, six other doors opened at the same time.

The seven challengers walked into the game place together——

This is a very high-end casino with a spacious space of more than 1 square meters. There is an oval table in the center covered with a dark green velvet tablecloth.There are eight luxury chairs around the table, seven of which are marked with numbers 7-[-] respectively, and the seat directly opposite does not have a numbered mark, but a "plum blossom" pattern is drawn.

Club A, who was giving him props just now, is now sitting on the chair opposite.

Gatekeepers can split into countless copies. Apparently, there were seven Aces of Clubs giving props to everyone at the same time. Therefore, the seven challengers are all dressed in the same black suit and silver mask, and the style of painting is a bit weird.

The thick carpet on the ground is very soft to step on, and everyone's footsteps are completely absorbed by the carpet.

It was very quiet around here.

The crystal chandelier above the head cast light like broken diamonds, and the silver masks on the faces of the seven people reflected the same cold metallic luster. The quiet room gave people a sense of oppression that seemed to be drawn out of the air.

No one dared to speak.

Until Club A said lightly: "Everyone, please take your seat according to the number plate."

Only then did everyone move.

Xiao Lou glanced around——

No. 2 is a girl with long straight hair less than 1.6 meters, pale complexion, and thin body. It is hard to imagine how a thin girl like her passed through other secret rooms.

No. 3 is a tall, strong adult male with a height of nearly 1.9 meters. His slender and straight legs are very eye-catching. The man has a perfect figure. He is like a model on the cover of a fashion magazine in a suit. I don’t know when he entered the card world. Did you adjust the image on purpose?

Number 4 is a plump, mature woman with big curly hair and red nail polish on her hands. No. 5 has a braid on the back of his head, but he is obviously a man in terms of figure and attire.

No. 6 is a middle-aged fat man with a beer belly; No. 7 is a tall girl with a high ponytail on her head, which looks very refreshing and neat.

Four men and three women, I didn't expect there to be so many contestants in the game.

Xiao Lou walked over and sat in seat No. 1 on the right hand side of Plum Blossom A, and the others took their seats in turn.

He turned his head, wanting to take another look at his opponent in this game—but suddenly met a pair of eyes.

It was a pair of dark, deep and cold eyes.

3 number.

Although the other party was wearing a mask, that sharp sword-like gaze shot directly at Xiao Lou's face through the mask, as if it could instantly penetrate the bottom of a person's heart and see through all the ugliness and evil thoughts deep in a person's heart.

Stared at by those eyes, Xiao Lou's back stiffened, and a picture suddenly flashed in his mind.

——On a rainy day, when the captain of the criminal police standing by the window turned his head to look at him, that was the look he had.

Xiao Lou has met many people, but the impression in Dui Yu's eyes is too deep.Those eyes, as cold and deep as the water in a winter lake, were deeply imprinted in Xiao Lou's mind after just one glance.

Even if a man's face is completely covered by a mask, he can still recognize him with his eyes alone.

I just saw the announcement saying that Yu Hanjiang set a new world record for the Zombie Town in the Spade 2 Chamber of Secrets. Based on time calculations, after Yu Hanjiang clears the Spade 2 Chamber of Secrets, it is very likely that he will enter Club 2.Moreover, Dui Yu's height is already close to 1.9 meters, and he has long legs, so his figure can match his size.

——No. 3 is Yu Hanjiang!

Xiao Lou heard the sound of his heart beating violently.

He didn't expect that he would meet Captain Yu directly in the secret room of Club 2!

The latter met his eyes and was obviously taken aback.I don't know if he recognized him, but the man's originally cold eyes softened slightly, and he nodded slightly at him.

Xiao Lou also nodded politely in response.

In the unfamiliar Plum Blossom Secret Room, the rules are still unclear, and the two of them dare not say anything more.

But one look at each other and one nod of confirmation is enough.

--It's him.

The two thought at the same time.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang calmed down in a tacit understanding.

Before the rules are clear, they cannot directly recognize each other, and they cannot let other challengers know that they know each other.

Seeing that all seven people were seated, Ace of Clubs took out a pack of poker cards and announced the rules of the game expressionlessly: "Challenge 10:30, this is a kind of poker game. During the game, no words, words, Body movements communicate, and those who violate the rules will be eliminated directly.”

The boy glanced at everyone, and with his slender fingers, he "swiped" a deck of playing cards on the table to arrange them.

This is a new deck of cards that has not been shuffled, and the order of the four suits is from A to K.

The big and small kings, AK cards of four suits are removed, and there are 52 cards in total.

The teenager pointed to the poker cards on the table and said: "In the 10:30 game, A, 2, 3, 4 up to 10 are called 'point cards', where A represents 1 point, and 2-10 represent their respective points. J , Q, and K are called 'human cards', and they all represent half points. The goal of the game is to make [10:30] the points of the poker cards in your hand."

"There are five rounds in one game, and there are five final card types. Please look at the screen."

On the large screen on the side of the room, five types of cards are listed in sequence, arranged in order from largest to smallest——

天王：五张牌的总点数正好等于10:30，比如，A、2、3、4、K。

People's five small: After five rounds of cards, you happen to get five people's cards, for example, J, Q, K, Q, K.

五小：五张牌的总点数小于10:30，比如A、A、2、2、2。

10:30：手里的牌少于五张，但点数正好是10:30，比如8、2、K。

平牌：手里的牌点数之和超过10:30，比如7、6。或者不足10:30，比如2、7。

Seeing that everyone was looking at the screen seriously, the boy went on to say: "D-level secret room, in order to take care of novices who have never played poker games, the size of the cards will always be left on the big screen, so that you can compare them at any time."

"After the game starts, in each round of card dealing, you can choose [take a card] or [don't want a card]."

"In the first round, everyone is forced to bet 1000 gold coins. From the second round, you can voluntarily fold your cards. If you fold, you will lose the bet gold coins. If you don't fold your cards, call at least 1000 gold coins in each round, and follow For those who bet, the betting amount must be equal to or greater than that of the previous player, and if the gold coins in their hands are not enough, they can also be Allin—all in.”

"If all five players in this game are all tied, and none of them make up 10:30, and there is no five-small or five-small hand, it will be regarded as a banker, and all the gold coins bet will be recovered by me."

"Seven rounds of games, the number of discards cannot exceed five times, and those who lose all their gold coins will be thrown into the Nightmare Chamber for punishment."

"The rules of the game have been explained, and I will give you 5 minutes to understand."

Although Xiao Lou seldom played poker games, the order of the card sizes on the screen, and the explanation of the Ace of Clubs was clear enough. He read it carefully twice, and soon understood.

Seven rounds of games, everyone is forced to bet 1000 before the cards are dealt in each round, and the fold cannot exceed five times, which means that you must call for at least two rounds, and you cannot keep folding to keep safe.

If you fail to win even one round, you will lose all your principal of 1 after seven rounds, and you will be thrown into the Nightmare Chamber for punishment.

Nightmare Chamber of Secrets, just hearing the name makes one feel chills down the spine, Xiao Lou doesn't want to experience it himself.

How to win money from other people as much as possible without losing everything yourself is the key to the game.

Everyone has a transfer bead, and the opportunity is equal.

When to use Lucky Beads to get yourself the best hand, when to call, when to fold...

This is not only a game of bets, but also a psychological game!

The author has something to say: I have checked my eyes, I am the right person.

When two people meet their eyes, it can be regarded as meeting :)

The rules of the game at 10:30 are actually very simple. A-10 represents 1-10, JQK represents 0.5, and the points of the cards in the hand should add up to 10.5 as much as possible. If 5 cards make up exactly 10.5, it is the biggest [King of Heaven] 】.

If you don't understand, look at the card size again, okay!
